Gotcha, well congrats thanks for the info!
Weird, but thank you for letting me know!
Congrats! I’m guessing this means that it’s just dependent on the interviewer and when they get around to calling people.
Or it might be dependent on time zone of the applicant since DrDentistDude is OOS
To those who have been called today, who called you? And who did you interview with and at which interview date?

Congratulations to all who have been accepted today!! 😊 Do you guys think today is the final round of acceptance calls?
Probably current D1s or 2s are in there
Yes, but no acceptance. I think it was just generic that they received my FAFSA
Yup, you seem to be correct.
it looks like 5 or so new people joined the Facebook early this morning

Would also love to know this!
Feels like it's safe to say that they're done giving out offers for now tbh
Another 15 day wait..... Or until the waitlist/rejection email

Can you please explain the 15 day wait? I didn’t know about that!
Not 100% sure, but pretty sure all offers sent out on Friday have 15 days for deposit. May be 30 days. Dont remember.
It’s 15 days, that’s how it is for acceptances after December 1st/15th
Can confirm that all offers have already been sent out
Source?
Well I can’t say the source’s name lol but I have a good friend who works for someone on the adcom and they told my friend that after the meeting on Friday, all initial offers have been completed. There’s always a possibility of movement later on of course, but that’s typically somewhat rare for UNC.
Oh this is disheartening. Thank you for the insider information though.
Just the phone call so far. My AADSAS also says offer made
That's good to hear. I think I just haven't received a phone call yet then!

Any idea when the rest of us will hear back? Assuming it’s waitlists now - does unc accept letters of intent?
Last year January acceptances went out on Jan 17th and then the waitlist was sent out on Jan 30th. So this year acceptances went out on Jan 22, so waitlist would likely be end next week Feb 5 or so.
Also Based on Previous year threads and what was commented in the threads for people getting off the waitlist:
2020 - 1-2
2019 - 2
2018 - 0
2017 - 1
Could be more that just dont use SDN though
Does anyone know the laptop policy at UNC? Are we required to purchase laptops from them or can we use our own? Thanks!

We’re required to purchase laptops! They said they’ll send more info about it in the summer
Any word on waitlist/rejection emails?
Early this week I email UNC and asked about my status, they told me they will send an email this week to me for waiting list, but they did not yet!
Hi everyone! I have been hearing different things. Are students ranked at UNC? thanks so much 😀
They aren’t ranked in the traditional way you are thinking, but they do report where you fall in the class percentile wise (top x%) to residencies. Still something you need to worry about if you want to specialize from what I understand

Umm any word on waitlists/rejects? Seems a common trend among UNC's grad programs this year to ghost applicants and not get back to them on time...
I heard they met recently to discuss again. They say it’s a really competitive cycle and they are having a tough time with decisions. I believe the Dean resigned Jan 15th so I think they’re going through a lot right now. I’m doing my best to be patient.
Source?
It is my understanding that all offers of admission have already been sent. If they met again, it was probably only to discuss the waitlist. It is always competitive. I don’t mean to be a downer, but I am trying to be realistic for my own sake
Class is full, they said they’ll be sending out waitlist info this week
did they tell you a specific day?

Nope. If they follow through then it’s today I’m assuming, but maybe they just told me that to get me out of their hair?
Yeah, because it looks like they told y’all the same thing on different weeks. I wonder if they plan to follow through this time. I guess waitlist isn’t much of a priority this year. Last year I interviewed January 11th and was waitlisted on January 30th. This year, it’s already been more than a month.
What if they don’t plan to have a waitlist this year? I know their class size is smaller due to Covid. Maybe they figure that if people drop then it will just be easier to social distance..
Idk, with how the testing program is now I think they’d be comfortable bringing in the new class size, they must just be really backed up. They have wellness days on Monday and Tuesday next week so maybe they’ll meet again during those, or send out the emails then since it won’t be as busy.
what is the new class size?
I think they said 72? So 10 less than last year’s I believe. The coolest thing that could happen is that with the vaccine ramping up, and UNC doing better with covid, they decided to bump the class size to 82 last minute and that’s why it’s taking so long. Super far fetched but hey, this cycle’s been weird in all sorts of ways
